The Ministry of Interior is extensively promoting the government-announced Amnesty scheme aimed at rectifying the status of expatriates who are illegally staying in the country. This wide-scale publicity campaign is being conducted in multiple languages, including several Indian languages, to raise awareness among the expatriate community.

The campaign warns expatriates that after June 17, they will no longer be able to adjust their legal status concerning residency matters, as the amnesty scheme deadline ends on June 17. Before this deadline, expatriates with invalid residency permits can either switch to a new sponsor by paying a fine or leave the country without incurring any fees, with the option to return on a new visa after June 17.

Sources indicate that the Ministry of Interior is preparing a comprehensive plan to address residency violators who do not utilize the amnesty period to rectify their status or leave the country. These preparations are at an advanced stage and are aligned with directives from higher authorities.
